The Benefits of Keeping a Journal

November 27, 2018

Did you know that studies have shown that journaling lowers anxiety, increases your likelihood of achieving goals, and leads to a better night's sleep?

Whether you're jotting down a to-do list, writing out a blueprint for your hopes and dreams, or keeping track of everything that you are grateful for, the act of putting pen to paper serves to help us become the best version of ourselves...just like Mary Richards ;)

Studies have found that writing in a journal is associated with better sleep. The emotional release of putting your thoughts down on paper seems to serve to "offload" them, helping to remove any swirling anxieties that might keep you from falling asleep. Journaling is also associated with having a stronger immune system, boosted creativity, increased self-confidence and a higher I.Q.!
